How our Christmas hog roast works in Fair Oak
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Popular choices include crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and december open days.
In Fair Oak, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Fair Oak, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
